Queen unimpressed by gurner
He may be the world gurning champion but Tommy Mattinson's silliest expression was not quite enough to amuse the Queen, it would seem. The pair came face to face at The Beacon museum in Whitehaven, Cumbria which the Queen officially reopened after a redevelopment.

Thirty Six Operations for a New Life
"When Christian Constantine was born, his facial deformities were so severe that the paediatricians who went to see him in intensive care had no idea whether he would survive, if he had brain damage, or how they might begin to put things right."
Christian endured his first operation at only 12 weeks old and has continued through thirty five more operations over the course of his life for a chance at looking relatively normal. "When Christian Constantine was born, his facial deformities were so severe that the paediatricians who went to see him in intensive c... more -
It's joge-e time
Interesting stuff on Joge-e, or “two-way pictures, that were popular in Japan during the 19th century. Shame the prints are so rare - a lot of these would make very good t-shirt designs.

FACEing the Global Health Challenge
HIV/AIDS has dropped the life expectancy in Kenya from 64 to 48 years. In parts of western Kenya, 40% of the adults are infected with HIV, and most of them are young working adults with children and families. When they die, their children will become one of the 15 million AIDS orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the added risk of becoming child prostitutes and child soldiers. HIV/AIDS is devastating Kenya and Sub-Saharan Africa.
We now have life-saving, relatively affordable HIV medications in Kenya. But now the challenge to how to get the medications to the people. Only 20% of the Kenyans who really need HIV medications (based on their health status) are getting these medications. There are only 14 doctors per 100,000 people in Kenya- compare this to having 256 doctors per 100,000 people in the US; that's almost 20 times fewer doctors for 20 times more HIV cases.
What do we do about this pandemic? The UN wants us to provide HIV care to all people living with HIV/AIDS by 2010. Can we do this? FACES, the clinical program featured in this documentary is trying to do exactly that. They are a vibrant, dedicated group of Kenyans working hard to provide HIV care to people in even the most remote island communities of Kenya. And they are doing it with compassion and with the best possible treatments we can make available to places without electricity or running water. They are going to places where there are no doctors.
